screwing in the tub
now that I have your attention:I want to attach some footman loops to the inside top edge of the tub.
(extra support for an MCN raingler cargo net)
I have some #8X 3/8 zinc metal screws. The footman loops are chrome.
Anyone foresee any mixed metal combination problems with that set up?
I should probably use a bolt washer nut combo. The footman loops could probably hold a #12 screw.
any and all comments / suggestions welcome!

Well, I am wholeheartedly disappointed after clicking on this thread. 
That being said, I wouldn't think you'd have a problem with those two metals in contact with one another. They do plate zinc with chrome in certain industrial applications, so I don't think you'd have any promotion of corrosion with those, if that's what's worrying you. Again though, that's just my guess. I don't know for sure.

Nope. No problems. Problems with dissimilar metals usually come about on boats where you have electricity and metals and water together for sustained amounts of time. I have never seen your Jeep and I have no idea where you off road but it is borderline impossible to create a situation that would cause you problems.
Rust would cause problems before the metals could break down.
